Summary
George looked back up, his face painted with indignant fury and Dream almost missed the eyeroll that accompanied it. "You designed this place, didn't you? Can Sam see us right now?"
"No," Dream said hesitantly, leaning away. He didn't exactly want to fight George, but if George came here looking for one, he was gonna get it.
Instead, George's posture completely relaxed. "Thank god," he muttered, and then he was diving in to grab Dream by his cheeks and kissing him for all he was worth. "Playing the mourning widow was such a fucking pain," he whispered against Dream's lips as soon as they had to pull away for air.
☆●☆●☆●☆●☆
George visits Dream in prison. Instead of fury, Dream encounters something he never considered a good thing: Apathy.

Summary
"A favor." George nodded and Techno frowned. "So what, you're telling me that you can call in favors on Dream's behalf and give them out?"
George actually tipped his head back and laughed. "Of course I can," he said like the alternative was absurd, and if Techno were being honest with himself, it was. "But I'm not offering you a favor from Dream. I'm offering you something I think you'll find much more interesting."
"And what's that?"
"I'm offering you a favor from me."
☆●☆●☆●☆●☆
George visits the one person who doesn't trust him implicitly to call in a favor.

Summary
George was quiet in thought for a moment as traced his finger across the top of the table in what Tubbo thought looked a bit like a smiley face. "I- I dunno," he said eventually. "I mean, I know I want to see him, but I'm not sure if I should or not."
"Why's that, George?" Sapnap asked, placing a hand on George's shoulder.
George took a deep, shuddering breath. "Because- Because I don't know what to say to him. Because I don't know what he'll say to me." He looked up at them, and Tubbo had never seen someone look so terrified and hopeful at the same time. "But I really want to. I don't know what I'm going to say to him, but I feel like I have to say something."
☆●☆●☆●☆●☆
George meets with with the one person who could let him see Dream again.
A prequel of sorts.

The King's Cornflower Crown by SummerFlingsAndThings (QueenJunoTheGreat)

Summary
But Dream's favorite player didn't smile back. In fact, a little frown formed on his mouth and he narrowed his eyes suspiciously. . "You're… not Dream."
Not Dream also frowned. Well, they weren't Dream, so it was back to square one. "How do you know?"
"Because your eyes are blue."
They furrowed their brow. They didn't know that. Then again, they didn't know anything about what they looked like. But evidently their eyes were blue and their favorite player didn't want them to be blue. "Are they not supposed to be? What color do you want?" They blinked and their eyes flashed and faded through all the colors of the rainbow.
☆●☆●☆●☆●☆
George meets with someone he's never met before, but they certainly know him. (Yet another prequel of sorts)

Summary
"You weren't supposed to be here," George said casually like he was commenting on the weather. He was dressed in Dream's clothes, sleeves and pants rolled up to keep from tripping, and when he turned around, Sapnap saw one of the little bright blue flowers Dream always got him tucked behind his ear.
"I could say the same for you."
George gave him a wry smile, hands shoved in his pockets. "Looks like I'm gonna owe Techno that favor after all."
☆●☆●☆●☆●☆
George finally meets the rest of the SMP, this time laid bare, true colors on display.

Summary
Dream just blinked at him, ironically feeling a little horrified. "George. That's- That's fucked up."
George looked up from the bowl of cake batter with his jaw dropped in an affronted little 'o.' He had the audacity to have a smear of chocolate down one side of his nose and be the absolute cutest thing Dream had seen in recent memory. Except maybe Patches. He kinda wanted to lick the chocolate, but he also wanted to kiss George all over his face until he was giggling and whining complaints and weakly smacking Dream's cheeks to bat him away. But mostly he just wanted to hear what exactly George had up his sleeve to defend himself. "Me? I'm the one who's fucked up? You're the one who kills people to get his rocks off."
Dream rolled his eyes. He should have expected deflection. That was George's specialty. "First off, I don't 'kill people to get my rocks off.'"
"Oh, it's just for normal, not-sexy fun then. Right. That makes all the difference."
☆¤☆¤☆¤☆¤☆
Dream kills people. George is okay with that. Dream thinks that's a little fucked up, which to be fair, it is.
